Des Moines reports the thirty fifth Iowa General Assembly will adjourn by Thursday noon after a long session. Progressives failed to push changes in state governance as the Senate rejected a fall reconvening. Democrats oppose a fall meeting, and with few Republican votes they likely cannot alter the course. If retrenchment and reform investigations advance, Republicans may demand an extra day.
